Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of Free Sialic Acid Storage Disorder
ABSTRACT Free sialic acid storage disorder (FSASD) is a lysosomal storage disorder that results from biallelic pathogenic variants in the SLC17A5 gene. This gene codes for sialin, a 12‐transmembrane domain protein that exports the charged sugar N‐acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac; sialic acid) out of the lysosome.

Serogrouping Neisseria gonorrhoeae: correlation of coagglutination serogroup WII with homosexually acquired infection. [PDF]
With coagglutination reagents prepared against W antigens, 205 clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were classified into three serogroups WI, WII, and WIII. Of 195 strains isolated from patients who acquired their infection in the Edinburgh area, 85 (44%) belonged to serogroup WI and 110 (56%) to serogroup WII.
